Lily Singh is an actress who is famous in Youtube for her amazing videos. She is also known as superwoman. How to be a bawse is her first book where she talks about how to becoming a boss and conquer the life. In this post, we are going to look at 6 Lily Singh quotes from the How to Be a Bawse book that inspires us for a successful life.
Escalator gives us a shortcut to get to the top of the building. In life, most people look for escalators to reach their goals. Since they give you quick results and requires less effort, we tend to like escalators more than the stairs.
Escalators looks good while they are working. But in real life, such shortcuts are good for achieving short term success. In order to be successful for a long period of time and achieve harder goals, we need to work hard. It’s similar to the process of taking stairs. If we are willing to climb, stairs will be always there for us. But escalators cannot be relied upon for longer periods. So, always choose stairs over escalators if you want to be really successful in life.
Achieving greatness if life requires hard work. That’s why many people prefer 9-5 jobs even though they know that a job won’t get them to their dreams. If you have a dream, you have to put all the energy you have to achieving that dream. That means working on holidays, loosing sleep, living low cost etc..
Putting all eggs in one basket is considered risky and we are told to avoid it. However, if you figure out the path to your dream, putting all eggs in one basket is one of the keys to success. Because, when we are targeting multiple dreams, our attention and energy needs to be split into to each of those dreams. So, we are unlikely to find huge success in any of those dreams. Instead, if we put all effort into one thing we love, we have no option to make it successful. So, our focus will be completely on one thing, making it easier to achieve great success.
As humans, survival comes naturally to us. Most people will try to survive in life. When a task is given, most people will try to find the easiest and quickest way to get the expected outcome. Only few people will put the effort and make the outcome remarkable.
Assume your manager asks you to prepare a plan for the next project. Most of you will only put effort to make the project plan acceptable by the manager.
Instead, we should always try to make statement by providing remarkable output, instead of going through the motions and just surviving the task.
The difference between really successful person and the average person is the commitment towards achieving your goal. Successful people will use the obstacles to learn and drive them towards their goals. On the other hand, average person will quickly get demotivated by the obstacles and give up.
Often, people give up not because they can’t do something. It’s the lack of inspiration that holds them back. They start thinking that I am not capable of doing it. In such cases, inspipiration from other people is what they need to get back on track. If they hear about someone who were in similar circumstances and became successful by doing certain things, they are likely to get back and start working again.
So, when something is not working as planned, take a break and look for inspiration from the stories of other people to refuel the motivation.
We love to make commitments. We make plans for achieving goals and commit to them at the start. However, as soon as we find obstacles, we slowly give up and comes back again to where we started.
Once we make a commitment, we have to stick with it regardless of the obstacles. If you are not disciplined enough to make the commitment on your own, you can get the support of someone else. Once someone else is watching and questioning your commitments, we are likely to stick with them to avoid discomfort.
Often, we get into situations where we have one thing in mind and tell something else. Because, we feed bad about the other person facing the truth. In life, it’s very important to be honest and straightforward to avoid many unnecessary problems.
There is always a way to tell what you mean, without being rude or harsh. You just have to take additional time to think and let the other person know what you really mean by explaining it bit more.
